Gardening and art at Bromley Park Care Home

Herb planters and painting are a big hit among residents

This week, the Recreation & Well-Being Champions at Bromley Park Care Home have been focussing on the residents talents and hobbies. One of their newest residents to the Home has always been a keen gardener and is very proud of his garden at home.

This fabulous kit allowed our resident to get his hands dirty again and put a smile on his face. Now for the challenge of keeping them well-watered in this heat!

For our arty residents, we’ve held a few creative sessions over the last couple of weeks. One of our ladies, despite having limited mobility, still loves getting a paint brush and happily creates her own masterpieces. We’ve also been decorating our plant pots ready for when our new plants are fully grown and ready for the garden.

Here at Bromley Park, even if it may seem that some residents struggle a little, we find art to be really therapeutic and it proves wonderful for engaging our ladies and gents in a relaxing activity.

Mum has been in Lukestone since the start of December last year, and is now starting to settle in, has made a group of friends and takes part in activities provided. She is safe, warm and I know she has her medication regularly and good quality food and drink.

Excellent staff. Very caring. Very efficient. Look after all of Mum’s needs wonderfully. Anticipate all care requirements, proactive in solving any health problems and keeping the family informed. All information required is readily available. All staff very good at welcoming and introducing themselves. Great food. Haven’t seen Mum at so well for years. Mum feels secure and very content.

Friendly, welcoming staff who have time to listen to any concerns. My mother is kept comfortable and is well looked after making her end of life care as painless as possible for her, family and friends. Over the last couple of months, mum’s personality and essence have won the heart of many. Staff tell me she is “lovely” and mum is thankful.

Needed to move dad as wasn’t happy where he had been the last six months. He was assessed straight away and was moved the week after. The staff are so caring and efficient and very understanding of dad’s needs and also mine and my sister’s.

I wrote a review recently in February following Abbotsleigh hosting a 100th Birthday party for my mother. Sadly she passed a couple of weeks later. I want to write to let everyone know that the care and attention given at Abbotsleigh didn’t stop when my mother died. The staff there showed such compassion and thoughtfulness to our family. Mum had someone stay with her at the end. I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers. A member of staff attended the funeral and Nellsar Head Office even issued a refund of fees without being asked. The management and staff are all so caring and I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about recommending this care home.
